Survey, Double your pension!!

Today you should have received a Minnesota Teamsters Correctional Officer Legislative Priorities Survey.

Please send in the survey!!

I recommend marking #4 Licensure as lowest priority. This will only guarantee more training at this time and no more money. Licensure is better saved for a stronger economy.

IMPORTANT: Under #5 any other issues write:

Merge the Corrections pension with the Police and Fire pension. The merger would bolster the flailing Police & Fire pension, giving their current members more security. This would not likely be opposed by the Counties as they would save approximately 5% of their wage/benefit budget by not having to pay in Social Security Taxes on our wages. Staff would see an increase in net pay based on this same reduction in taxes. Staff would also have a better retirement benefit.

This is a rare opportunity to make your voice heard loud and clear. You are MNTLEL!
